I decided this year to make Valentine’s Day dinner for me and KP. Over the last few months, I have been taking cooking classes at Aubergine in Carmel. This month was Thai inspired cuisine and we made an awesome marinade for a flank steak and a curry base. So I used that for my inspiration.

Tonight’s menu was:

Thai BBQ Oysters

-4 Oysters

-juice of 1 lime

-1 tbsp fish sauce

– 2 tbsp sugar

-1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)

-1 tsp red chilli paste

Combine all ingredients for sauce and let sit for 1 hour. Heat BBQ. Put oysters directly on BBQ. Let steam for about 4 minutes or until they open. Carefully, using a pot holder, knife and chopping board peel top of oyster shells off. Once all oysters are open faced put a spoonful of sauce on each. Place back on BBQ for 3 minutes to cook.
